tied by Old HatFly Type: Wet,
Target Species: Trout,
Recommended Region: Other,
Imitation: Mayflies,
Material List:
Hook: Mustad 3399A #14 (any wet)
Thread: red
Body: copper tinsel
Thorax: light hare's mask
Hackle: medium partridge
Tying Instructions: I like to tie in the hackle out over the eye, by the stem first. Next tie in and wrap the copper tinsel forward. Add the dubbed thorax stopping the thread behind the tied in hackle. Wrap the hackle back to the thread with just a turn or two. Tie it in then bring your thread forward through the hackle and tie a small neat head.
